The Abyss (ENGLISH)

The Abyss (Alan Silvestri). The release of the deluxe edition of the soundtrack of The Abyss, though it is not of the most wished, comes to show the good moment that this type of releases have in the second decade of the 21st century. And it is that the releases of movie soundtracks of last decades do not stop being re-edited, probably with the intention to attract again the traditional fan to do cash desk, against piracy and the digital editions of the current movies, which, on having been cheaper, have done that the collection for soundtracks gets down with regard to previous epochs.

In case of The Abyss, the footage is generous with regard to the original edition and includes some extras in the shape of alternate and unused tracks that complete the musical experience that Silvestri gave to James Cameron's submarine epic, a film in which could be perceive his tastes and technologies skills later seen in the liquid metal of Terminator 2: Judgment Day, the submarine setting of Titanic and the bioluminescence creatures of Avatar.

The deluxe edition is a good mixing among purely atmospheric tracks, which show the burden of the submarine installation, the tracks of action and the choir versions relating to the extraterrestrial beings.
